Pleased to have got this completed.

Hanging in there.Needing to watch my repair days.

Did a little too much yesterday,Dubai 30/30 ( programme of 30days and 30mins lead by a personal trainer at school with my grandson, then 8.3 and then the pool.

Will not go until I’m ready.

Takes time to rebuild again.I quit the gym basically 10 months ago in favour of runners exercises as per Pete Magill.Early days but I have found I put a few Kg’s back on.But not putting enough km’s in yet.

Attempted a Nov Speed Challenge 200m in the light rain before the thunder and lighting.Have to be patient and hoping a burst of speed will reappear.

Best wishes with your programmes and keep on keeping on.

💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⭐️⭐️👏👏

Hope all good with you Ambassador Jo.❤️

I consider it well earned and generously gifted from the forum.

22 months and rocking with the gift of trotting.

The black dog lurks but slowly being starved.

Thanks GTB.Too many garden distractions at home then you just have to build up sensibly again.I always joke there is no fool like an old fool.But I am pleased I have a bit more savvy now from on here.

🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏💥

Just read this then looked at your profile - I became interested as you mentioned rebuilding. I graduated in Oct and picked up an injury. This morning I was feeling incredibly sorry for myself and thinking "Well, I'm too old (54), I may as well just forget about it". Well I read your story and feel motivated to carry on with this.

Thank you, you've inspired me.

My best according to Strava is 39 seconds

Well done Alan on your 5k’s and 10k’s.

Yes keep on keeping on unless your on your bike.👍👏👏

My son in law is in the 218km Coast to Coast event from Sharjah to Furijah in Oman 🇴🇲 this Friday.Very early start and across the mountains.

I hope he gets a clear ride and no mechanical events with his bike.

He has been in training for months for this one.
